As the author of Paraffin I must warn you that running Paraffin as part of your build will potentially cause problems with component GUIDs and minor updates. (I'm required to say that because if you screw up future upgrades, don't blame me).
Anyway, TFS Build and the OutputDir problem is well known, though for web applications it's kind of nice that a build only includes what you need on the web server. Jason Stangroome has written about an approach to fix the problem with TFS 2012 Build: http://blog.codeassassin.com/2012/05/10/override-the-tfs-team-build-outdir-property-net-4-5/. Hope it helps!

When TFS builds a solution, it overrides the OutDir/OutputPath msbuild property, which results in all the build outputs going to a common Binaries directory, rather than each project's bin folder. So how do people use Paraffin in this scenario? -david ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
